Thanks Phil.

I have found a solution :

Create this file :  PathOfYourPython35\Scripts\pyrcc5.bat
which contains this line :  @"%~dp0\..\python" -m PyQt5.pyrcc_main %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9


Now, use pyrcc5.bat as you would use pyrcc5.exe
Cheers.

The executable is created by pip when you install the wheel. I don't know what constraints that imposes.
